History Characters / RikiOh

** Aneyama shoots him with a special bullet which weakens Riki-Oh's strength to less than a boy's. After a chapter-long HumiliationConga, he gets Akuta to help him remove the bullet to restore his strength.
** His first fight against Mukai goes poorly because in his heart, he's built up Mukai as the ultimate InvincibleVillain. After meditating for several days, he properly [[FaceYourFears disciplines himself]] to face Mukai once again for a proper FinalBattle.

-->'''[[spoiler: Eisaku:]]''' [[spoiler: I...I've done nothing but bad things my whole life...at least this way, I can die...like an honorable man...]]

* AntiHero: Type III.

* EvilTwin: To Riki-Oh.

* {{Expy}}: His sadistic, psychopathic personality, effeminate behavior and the design of his eyes all make him quite reminiscent to [[Anime/DragonBallZ Frieza]].

%%* AntiHero: Type III.

%%* EvilTwin: To Riki-Oh.

* OldMaster: He was a member of an elite Chinese fighting unit when he was younger, and he's imparted his skills to at least two disciples. This man taught Riki-Oh everything he knows about martial arts, and age hasn't slowed him down much.

%%* NoNameGiven

%%* BigBad: Of the Cape Arc.
%%* BigBadWannabe: Unfortunately, he gets HijackedByGanon by [[spoiler: Riki's brother, Nachi]] by the climax.

%%* ILikeSwords:

* ArtificialHuman: He was created artifically.

* DisproportionateRetribution: His butler leaves a hair in his tea. Aneyama's response is to butcher him with a razor-edged ceiling fan. Later, when another of his servant's accidentally makes a remark about [[spoiler: Aneyama's true age]], the enraged villain kills him with another remote-controlled death trap.

* HateSink: Like the other villains, Aneyama is designed to be a truly loathsome and despicable character. Even his love for his deceased sister does absolutely nothing to make him come off as sympathetic.

* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler: He's in his 80s.]]

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He comes off as a laid-back drunkard, but he's one of the best pilots in the sky.

* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: He is Riki-Oh's biological father.]]

* NighInvulnerable: Riki-Oh couldn't make a scratch on him, probably helps that he's ''[[spoiler: immortal]]''.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: He is loathed by all the prisoners, including The Warden, who [[spoiler:kills Sugiyama for getting in his way when he is about to shoot Riki-Oh.

* AssholeVictim: He is such a nasty piece of garbage, that when Riki kills him, it is satisfying and catahrtic.

* KiAttacks: ''Naike Kenpo'' specializes in this trope.

* KiAttacks: He was able to use a [[KamehameHadoken Kantsu Reppa]] against Riki-Oh's to cause a BeamOWar.

%%* {{Jerkass}}

%%* ButtMonkey
%%* DrivenToSuicide

%%* SissyVillain

* {{Expy}}: Of [[FistOfTheNorthStar Mr. Heart]].

* BiggerBad: He's behind everything from the Cape arc onwards. All the other {{Big Bad}}s beforehand were working for him.

* BigBad: Of the Cape Arc.
** BigBadWannabe: Unfortunately, he gets HijackedByGanon by [[spoiler: Riki's brother, Nachi]] by the climax.

* VillainDecay: Built up as the big bad of the Cape Arc by being the leader of the cape and easily defeating Riki-Oh in a fight...only to later go crazy, paint his face, wear weird head gear, and is suddenly much easier for Riki to beat.
** Potentially justified, seeing as Washizaki was composed and sane when he first battled Riki-Oh. By the time they have a proper rematch, he's in the throes of insanity, which probably cut his fighting ability in half.

* OutsideContextVillain: Sort of--him being a nasty piece of work who runs a prison is no surprise. But him suddenly busting out martial arts on par with Riki-Oh, and taking on a hulking and muscular form in the process? ''That'' wasn't expected.

* AmbiguouslyJewish
* AntiHero: Type III.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro]].
* IKnowKungFu: ''[[FantasticFightingStyle Naike Kenpo]]'' is a Shaolin martial art. Referred to as ''Qigong'' in the [[TheStoryOfRicky movie]].

%%* MadeOfIron

%%* DarkMessiah

%%* BadassGrandpa ''Very'' badass.
%%* OldMaster

%%* BigBad: Of the Prison Arc.

%%* TheDragon: To the Warden.

%%* FatBastard
%%* StoutStrength

%%* BigBad: Of the Cape Arc.
* CoolSword: His [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]], its made from the [[ThunderboltIron metals found in a meteorite]] and can [[AbsurdlySharpBlade cut through virtually anything]].

* MercyKill: He shot 119 of his own men that were slowly dying from a gas attack. He keeps a rose garden containing 119 of them.

* {{Kevlard}}: His body fat can suck people's arms in and snap the bones.

* NoKillLikeOverkill: When he first shows up to kill Riki-Oh, he brings ''a damn rocket launcher'' to do the job. Of course, considering that Riki-Oh survived being shot ''five times'' when he tried killing him in the backstory, this might count as being DangerouslyGenreSavvy.
